He's here for 7 more years. He's not moveable right now, and probably not for a long time. Not unless his performance improves. So how do you improve his performance?

You don't. That's up to him. Spending a significant amount of time, energy, assets and a good portion of the organizations future plans around getting him to be halfway decent is a waste.
I would hope the Flames are getting creative with ways to potentially move this contract along, as challenging as it might be.
